Star Spangled Style
by Robyn Tellefsen

This Fourth of July, why not celebrate in style? If you love the red, white, and blue, say it loud and proud with Go-Girl.com's patriotic product picks.

Tasteful Tees
For the perkiest patriotic styles, count on Old Navy to provide. This flag tank and sparkly rhinestoned sleeveless tee say you’re psyched for summer, and not afraid to show it. Get the tank in light blue, navy, red, or white; pick up the tee in red or white.
(Tank - $5, Tee - $10.50, www.oldnavy.com)

Worldwide Wristwear
Say your heart and your hands belong to the USA with Hasbro's new American-flag LCD Watch and recordable Slap Message Band. Instead of passing your gal pal a note, why not record a secret message and "slap" it on her wrist? We think that's way more fun.
(Watch - $9.99; Message Band -$12.99; available at all major retailers)

The Eyes Have It
You want a good look at the fireworks display, but what’ll you do when it’s time to grab a snack and gab with the girls? Why not tuck your glasses into this handstitched wool needlepoint case? This way, your eyewear will be safe in the red, white, and blue, while you’re busy finding other things to do!
($12.98, www.lillianvernon.com)

Dream Big
What better way to celebrate Independence Day than in clothing that encourages you to achieve your dreams? New Moon had you in mind when they created this item -- a lightweight, hooded sweatshirt featuring their logo on the front, and "Be Your Dream" on the back. It’s a perfect pullover for nighttime firework-watching!
($28.95, www.newmoonstore.com)

Patriotic Pin
If you’re looking for a high-class addition to your "country collection," pick up a gorgeous Swarovski crystal pin. Wear one on your jean jacket, or pin it to a sweater. And don’t worry about spending a bundle -- these crystals are wallet-friendly.
($35, 800-426-3088, Swarovski Gallery Stores Nationwide)

Gypsy Jeans
Want to get patriotic legwear, but worried you’ll wear it just once a year? That won’t be a problem with these Gypsy Jeans, made with interchangeable legs so you can mix and match. They’re ideal for July Fourth festivities, and every shindig in between.
($60, www.gypsyjeans.com)

Slammin' Swimwear
Weather permitting, we know you’ll be logging some surf time at the start of your summer vacation. That’s why Baltex created this nautical mini rib swimsuit in red, white, and blue -- so you can swim with pride!
($68, www.baltex.com)

 

Wanna' have a little fun and show your pride in America at the same time? Try these do-it-yourself tips for patriotic nails:

1. Paint on a coat of white nail polish (use pure white so that you only need one coat). Allow it to dry.
2. Using blue polish, paint a small box in the upper left-hand corner. Allow it to dry.
3. Paint red stripes on the box.
4. Dip a toothpick into the white polish and dot "stars" on the blue box. Allow it to dry.
5. To protect the design, finish with a clear topcoat.
